Hello to all of our friends and to those who have just recently been introduced to us. Hereís our story in 100 words or less:

Eric Larson quit his day job about four years ago to try his hand at cheese shop ownership. After surviving some rough times his little shop with a long name (Marion Street Cheese Market) became firmly rooted in the Oak Park, IL community. Today, Larson and his business partners Chef Michael Pivoney and Mary Jo Schuler have taken a major leap and turned the one-time corner store into a specialty food shop/wine and beer bar/cafe/community hub for the Chicagoland area.
